5 Tips For Reducing Water Usage In The Bathroom

Thanks to innovative spray technologies, luxury showering doesn’t have to be wasteful. The award-winning Rainfinity shower range from German makers, hansgrohe, has been purposefully designed to consume up to 40% less water than a standard shower, offering a more eco-friendly alternative that still exudes extravagance and wellness.

“Rainfinity softly cocoons the body with hansgrohe’s PowderRain technology,” explains Emma Scott. “Its concave spray surface, diffused arrangement of jet disc holes, and flexible silicone nozzles ensures performance and durability for every bathroom.”

Adjusting the shower’s water flow pressure is an impactful way of reducing water consumption. “While some shower controls provide binary on/off functions, other shower valves allow the flow of the water to be varied, accommodating a greater water pressure range for your comfort as well as providing a more environmentally conscious option when showering,” explains Yousef Mansuri, C.P. Hart Director of Design. “Our exclusive Waterloo Sequential Shower Valve is excellent for water flow control. Designed by C.P. Hart founder John Hart, our Waterloo range is manufactured in the UK to exacting standards and available in 7 diverse finishes - perfect for classical interior schemes.”

“For a more contemporary aesthetic, look to the Gessi Inciso Shower Valve, featuring rotary volume controls that allow the user to adjust the pressure of water flow, shown here in the Aged Bronze finish.”

Considering environmental factors when designing your bathroom may inspire you to opt for stainless steel brassware - a 100% recyclable material that is inherently environmentally friendly. In addition to its recyclability, stainless steel features anti-bacterial properties that make it easy to clean. "Requiring only a small amount of soapy water and rinsing, there is less need for corrosive and environmentally damaging household chemicals," explains Emma Scott.

Crafted from marine grade 316 stainless steel, this award-winning collection highlights architectural luxury and superior quality and durability.

To maintain a hygienic environment at home, towels are washed frequently – yet with each wash, water consumption increases. One way to save water by prolonging the period between each wash is to ensure that towels are properly dried between uses, preventing damp environments that encourage bacteria.

The solution lies in heated towel rails, providing luxurious comfort after showering whilst simultaneously ensuring your towel dries between each use, helping to reduce laundry washes and overall water consumption.
